A theatrical genius. The first time I saw Zoe Caldwell -- and @AudraEqualityMc - on stage was in Master Class. Never saw anyone like her or Ms. McDonald on stage before on since. #RestInPower #ZoeCaldwell
@AudraEqualityMc She so embodied the role that I left the theater in awe. Later I read a @NewYorker profile in which I remember her saying of the Callas role "this one has been a little difficult to get back on the leash."I loved the revelation that a role like this can threaten to take you over.
@AudraEqualityMc @NewYorker So sorry for your and your family's loss @AudraEqualityMc. #ZoeCaldwell

To be clear, if Russia is following the same playbook as 2016, that means that African American voters will be disproportionately targeted. nytimes.com/2018/12/17/us/… The Senate's failure to move election security bills is a civil rights issue.
The Senate Intelligence Cmttee knows that Black voters were the principal target of Russian interference in the 2016 election, & now the Cmtee knows that Russia plans to do it again this yr. But the Senate still won't act on bills that would protect against these attacks.
So, let's call this what it is. The United States Senate is prepared to leave African American voters undefended against foreign interference and manipulation. It is a scandal of monumental proportions & the Senate Majority Leader must be compelled to answer this charge & act.

While all eyes are on the Kirwan bill, NAACP_LDF⁩ attys ⁦@AjmelQuereshi⁩ & ⁦@CaraMcClellan6⁩ remind everyone that we are in active litigation to compel MD to comply w/even greater constitutional funding requirements for #Baltimore City. baltimoresun.com/opinion/op-ed/…
It’s important to know that there are limits to what #Kirwan can deliver for #Baltimore City schools.
Infrastructure must also be address. It’s a key part of our demand in the suit the @NAACP_LDF & @ACLU are pursuing on behalf of #Baltimore City students.

Well, these pardons are appalling but none are worse than the pardon for Sheriff Arpaio. He had not been convicted of a financial crime or corruption. He was held in contempt for refusing a judicial order to stop engaging in racist targeting of immigrants.
Trump's pardon of Arpaio is the only pardon I can remember in which the underlying crime was official racism. And with that pardon, Trump pardoned, sanctioned and approved racism by law enforcement. It is as appalling as it gets and we should never forget it.
The only action that comes close is Trump's interference in the disciplinary action against Navy Seal Gallagher, after brave Seals courageously testified about actions by Gallagher that would constitute war crimes.

First witness on the stand today is former Greenville Sheriff Office PIO Drew Pinciaro. He worked under Lewis.
Says he was responsible with dealing with the media, writing speeches, etc. Defense objects to "yes and no" questions, says prosecution is leading the witness.
Says his job didn't really change when Lewis took over the position as sheriff. Says he saw the relationship between Nabors and Lewis as a brother/sister thing. Says Nabors would always address Lewis by his first name.

The ‘National Journal’ noted that Mike Espy, #MS US Senate Candidate #Election2020-has

In 2018, Espy said that he supports free trade.
Mike Espy 🔁#Mississippi US Senate candidate #Election2020-Nov-3.
believes that the decision by Republicans to deny an expansion of #Medicaid is why so many rural hospitals in Mississippi have closed. #MSpol #MS #DemSenate2020 FOLLOW>>@MikeEspyMS

Saw Avengers Endgame again last night. It is still perfect and I still cried like a baby. However: What a difference an audience makes.
The first time we saw it was on the day of release. Everyone was 100% involved. You could hear the sobbing in the audience, people broke into applause at various points and at the end, every in-joke won big laughs.
Last night was, I guess, second-timers and people who were less fussed. Outbreaks of laughter, no applause, no big sense of communal involvement.

ADVENT - A Christmas Ghost Story from Dec 1 to Dec 24

Dec 1

WTF?
Where’s the chocolate? Just a picture of a dumb bird!
What kind of advent calendar hasn’t got chocolate in it?
Can’t believe I’m stuck here all Xmas in the middle of nowhere while you get to go to Darren’s party!
Sophie slept
In spite of the house
In spite of herself
In spite of the spitting, chattering rain against the thin black ugly window pane
It was strangely soothing
Strangely calming . . .

Until a sharp
Sudden
Angry
CRACK
Smacked her furiously awake!
Dec 2

Hey how you?
Sooooooo tired! Thought I heard a noise last night but no one else heard it so I guess I must’ve dreamed it. Then I couldn’t get back to sleep. This creepy old house is doing my head in!
Btw another lame pic on this stupid calendar today.
Looks like you LOL

First time they saw each other at the metro platform, waiting for the train. He worked in a press & she, a salesgirl in a jewelry showroom. It was 9 am in the morning & as usual the rush hour. As the train doors opened, crowd gushed toward the train
Unlike other days when she carried a handbag, she had with her a packed painting for the showroom she worked with. Walking fast towards the train, her left foot got twisted & she fell. He was standing next to her. Before she could get up & gather her things, train had left
To her amusement, the boy whom she was while waiting was still there helping her. She smiled & thanked him. That evening coming back from his factory, he bought a branded perfume for the first time in his life
